Dear Atria,Do you remember my friend Dino? You might have been to little to remember him, but he has been a friend of mine for many years now. We don’t see each other very often, but you know - it doesn’t matter. Every time we meet it is like the time has stopped and like we didn't see each others just for a day or two. We have a lot to talk about and we’re always keen to help one another. I am sure you have some lovely friends and you understand what friendship is about.

You can say that friendship is a relationship when people care about each other. It is a wonderful feeling to have a friend, but friendship also demands time and effort, and it requires that people put someone other than themselves first sometimes. To be true friend with someone you need to be honest, loyal, you need to trust the other person and accept them with all the differences you may have. So what does a friendship really means? It means understanding, but not necessary agreement. It means forgiveness, not forgetting. It means the memories last, even if contact is lost.I hope one day you will consider me your friend dear Atria...
